Spartan Infantry Weapons

Infantry was the dominant military arm in ancient Greece, and the Spartan infantry eclipsed all others. A Spartan hoplite (footsoldier) wielded a pike of seven and a half to nine feet in length, which he handled more skillfully than his opponent did his own weapon of lesser stature. He donned a helmet, breastplate, and greaves and carried a short sword at his waist. He held so large a shield that it could be used as a stretcher to carry wounded from the field. This shield protected its bearer's left side and front, and extended far leftward to protect his neighbor's right side. Dependence upon a neighbor's shield encouraged each hoplite to keep rank. These trained hoplites maneuvered in a formation, called a phalanx, of at least eight ranks deep. The Spartan phalanx was the most formidable sight on battlefields in the fifth century B.C .

The sword believed to have been carried by King Leonidas, leader of the 300 at the battle of Thermopylae. This sword was used by the officers (lochagoi) and leaders of the famous Spartan infantry for close combat at battles like Thermopylae and Plataies. Its sharp blade is made of stainless steel. Excellent realistic feeling.Fully functional, specially designed for reenactements.
